Abstract
An extensive body of knowledge has developed around globalization over the years, amongst which are models of globalization that prove useful in any analysis of its impacts. Wallerstein discusses the notion of a World System in which everything must insert and assert itself within a single division of labour. Wallerstein maintains that there is a centre and a periphery where those at the centre hold a relationship of exploitation to those in the periphery (Wallerstein 1990). Roland Robertson's 'globalisation' refers to the coming together of local cultures whose content has to be redefined when local cultures encounter the forces of globalization. It is the process of a worldwide restratification, in the course of which a new socio-cultural hierarchy, on a worldwide scale is put together. He identifies six phases of globalization starting from the fifteenth century AD and extending to the present day (Beck 2000, Bauman1998A).
